iirc Flat Battle brings Pokemon levels down to 50 so why level it up unless your going for a certain move.

The problem is that there are 2 options... no restrictions which leaves pokemon at whatever level they are at.

Then there's flat battles that allow you to bring in a team of 6 but then only choose 3 of those pokemon to use. (similer to the Pokemon Stadium battles) However, they will turn all your pokemon to level 50 for the duration of the battle. However, there are restrictions with no 2 held items same, no 2 pokemon the same, and no special pokemon.

due to the bold restriction I can' use Meloetta in flat battles. Since she's only level 53 I can't use her in No restriction battles because they leave all pokemon the level they entered in... meaning I'll have all level 100s except for Meloetta.

The problem comes because I don't have another pokemon to replace Meloetta with (at the moment). Because Meloetta was going to be one of my 3 fighting pokemon requirement. Thus I have to replace her with a fighting type pokemon.

And what I mean by not ready, I mainly mean not EV trained thus they'd be equivalent to a Pokemon of a lower level.

There is one pokemon however, that is ready but due to his types he'll put my team at a big disadvantage against a certain type. (Not a fighting weakness). SO anyways that's my problem.

There's a few reason's why it's not a good idea to swap over to using 6th gen as soon as it comes out.

One is not everyone will be getting it at that point. This could be either due to money wise, not being able to find it, or simply don't want to get it either that soon or at all.

two: Team wise. After all it may take awhile for people to make a team. However, you could say that they could just transfer the old pokemon. But we haven't had a confirmation yet that old gen can transfer to 6th gen, though more than likely they will be adding the feature, there's still a possibility that it won't be there.
